Shark - Cordless Pro Vacuum

I’ve owned several Dysons in the past (including a battery-powered stick) and every single one of them required warranty repairs, including: burst hoses, refusal to charge, air leaks, strange and loud noises, parts that broke off. After warranty, they all became garage sale with “mostly works” disclaimers. I went all-stick and looked up the most critical reviews on hard-core British consumer web sites and followed their advice. The two shark ion stick vacuums I got have been working flawlessly for the master five years and their performance has been unparalleled. I realize now that I had been sold a false dream with Dyson.

I had a Henry in the past and currently have a Shark. The henry was good but if you wanted to use the brushes on the head to lift up the carpet pile it can be quite hard work. It was also bulky and took up a lot of room in the under-stairs cupboard. The shark we have now is cordless and is decent and I enjoy using it. It has the head with the power-fins on it rather than a spinning brush. With this design I think it's better for hard floors rather than carpet. The fins don't do a good job of lifting the carpet pile. Without any weight keeping the head down, the head wobbles up and down if you drag the cleaner back against the direction of the pile.

I have a Shark cordless WITH FINS. Not the brush roller. The fins do not wrap hair!! I have long hair, wool rugs and a dilute Torti, i vacuum every day and empty it daily. Fins are the way to go. Corded or cordless. FINS FINS https://preview.redd.it/bmwj48r457fe1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ef9a3241ef64e2c8ee9c1c90bfe78dc4d5de906

We have and at the time we bought we still had dogs. Both do great! We graduated to the shark robot once we no longer had dogs of our own. We still have one of our kids large very hairy dog at least 3-4 days a month and the robot is able to maintain us daily even when it is there. Our stick vac gets used once every two weeks. Used to have Dyson for context and it wasn’t as good. We only have a small amount of carpet in the house.

I have a shark pro and it's amazing with 2 cats and 2 dogs. I've had it for like 5 years and it's still going strong!

No, shark with duo clean and powerfins or whatever they’re now calling the hair cleaning spikes are the best

The Shark Stick Vac does a great job. You can get it cordless or with a cord. If you end up with the Ryobi, you could always get a tool that has the same battery and use for the vacuum. I love all of my Ryobi outdoor tools. I have a lot of different tools, including the zero turn mower and push mower, plus a lot of hand tools. They all work great. The leaf vacuum does a great job mulching, too.

I’ve had the same Shark stick vac for 15 years. It’s nothing special, and there are some functionality features I’d change, but it works well. I only use it on hard floors. It’s quick and convenient. I use it daily in the kitchen. It fits underneath the cabinets where my upright doesn’t.

We have a Shark stick vac that is pretty dopefor smaller jobs If you all have power tools with swappable batteries (like Ryobi, DeWalt, etc) check out what vacuum offerings they might have

I have a shark stick vac, Rocket going on 10. Dropped it off a truck, so we have to tape the dirt cup closed. I keep waiting for it to die so I can get a cordless one but it just keeps sucking.
